On the other hand, aquatic plants are plants that are adapted to live in water. Either emerge, submerge or float. They provide oxygen, shelter and food for fish and wildlife.
This blog post focuses on indoor plants that grow in water.

The base of the plant should hang above the waterline. You can use pebbles or glass stones to make sure your peace lily’s roots are the only ones that are submerged. You want to prevent the leaves and their bases from getting wet too often to avoid rot.
Fiddle Leaf Fig
With large, violin-shaped leaves, fiddle leaf figs are another incredible houseplant. Growing this plant in water is very easy since she usually thrives in moist and warm conditions.
After only four weeks of propagating in water, you will notice roots appearing at the base of the stem of the cuttings. Then, in a few more weeks, the roots will grow in the water. Soon you’ll have plenty of fiddle leaf figs to share with your friends and even sell for a good price.
Pothos
Also known as Devil’s Ivy, Pothos is an incredible houseplant that can improve indoor air quality. It does this by removing carbon dioxide and other contaminants from the air around it and providing supplemental oxygen.
I know that sounds cool right? Another impressive fact is that it can withstand some neglect.
However, growing dill in water can be a bit difficult due to algae formation, which is a natural result of water and sunlight. The good news, however, is that growing from cuttings is not difficult. Additionally, using dark containers or vases to reduce sunlight can also reduce algae growth. With enough care, you can prevent any problems and enjoy healthy, lush plants.
African Violet
Growing plants in water from leaves is a great way to start a new African violet plant. It’s best to choose young, healthy leaves and trim about two inches from the stem. Keep the leaves dry, and after about a month, roots will begin to form on the stems.
